Data+Management

There are many great tools that you can use for data management. Engrade is an **online grade book** that you can use for many different data purposes. Online gradebooks are helpful, because you can have your information available wherever you have the internet. With this program, you can also send students messages, create homework calendars, online quizzes, have discussions, wikis, flashcards, and attendance. Administration and students also have access to this, and it is completely secure and free (Engrade, 2011).

To help educators begin to use digital portfolios, leaders can visit [|www.richerpicture.com]. This website has a lot of information about digital portfolios including how to begin implementing them.
 * Digital Portfolios**: Again, digital portfolios can be used to assess state and district standards to align curriculum, but they can also be used to collect and track student progress. An electronic portfolio can provide specific evidence of work samples that prove student achievement. These digital portfolios are also known as e-portfolios.

On my online gradebook, you can set a reminder. For teachers like me who need that, it is a great asset. I set a reminder for every Friday morning that I need to input my progress monitoring scores. Sometimes with busy lives, we may forget, but using a simple thing like a reminder will help us remember to input grades, and make sure we are giving the quizzes.
